Gotcha!

I took the
stairs with the hope of getting some cues. It’s getting dark outside and dogs
are barking in the background. I brushed past some spider webs, broken glasses,
and a bevy of creepy crawly critters.

Did someone scream?
Or is it the howling wind?

I carefully
ascended the creaky steps and bumped into a closed door with broken doorknob. I can feel
someone watching me; reluctantly I let go of a breath I didn't know I was holding.

I remember Olly olly oxen free! Those were good days and good games. Now my grandchildren play hide-and-seek in our house and they always yell "Olly olly oxen free" which is another way of saying "Kings X" - Hey these are good memories within a really creepy setting. You did good! Really, really good! Nan :)
